Thom, the issue with m_bMediaRunning not being set false, unless the core is running (http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=8881.msg60630#msg60630,) still exists. Nothing in SVN has changed which would rectify the issue. I don't have a build environment yet so I can not provide a direct patch. I intend to get on irc and request some assistance with the build environment but I've been away and havn't had a chance yet.

Now that alpha 2.37 has been released, anyone try it that had the "orbiter already started" error?

The answer to your question is YES, I have installed the 810-Alpha2.37 update and YES when I rebooted my Core the problem was gone.

Since this has been such a menace for most non-Linux people and newbies to LinuxMCE, I would like to thank whomever is responsible for the fix. I had decided not to reinstall my core simply because I have to many devices installed and working very well, so I've just lived with doing a quick regen of my core's orbiter #21 each time after a needed router reload to get it temporarily under control. Enough bandwidth wasted.

I would like to tell you that, after the last updates applied to the core, all seems to be fixed.I had tried to reboot the core, reload and regen all orbiters and so on and the problem actually never appeared.
